IT services and solutions provider, Datacentrix, has formally launched a Resourcing Services business unit, enabling the company to address the high industry demands for skilled resources and challenges placed on businesses through the increasing skills shortage within the IT sector.
According to Berelize de Sousa, Business Unit Manager of Resourcing at Datacentrix, companies nowadays are afforded little time for traditional recruitment processes and this, combined with the real skills scarcity, has resulted in them increasingly turning towards using contract IT skills.
"The current state of the IT market is one of volatility and fast-paced change, meaning that it is becoming more and more difficult for organisations to employ staff needed on a permanent basis.
"Opting for resourcing can offer greater flexibility - providing companies with contractors who have the specific proficiencies required on a temporary basis - as well as easy access to skills that are otherwise difficult to source. It also meets the short-term needs of organisations working on limited time projects, eliminating the need for headcount approval.
"Not only does the customer minimise risk via resourcing, but they also stand to save on costs by eradicating recruitment fees and HR administration costs."
De Sousa maintains that Datacentrix`s proven track record and sizeable blue-chip client base enables the company to recruit highly skilled contractors in the market. The company draws on contacts within its industry network, personal references and advertising to attract performance-driven self starters. "We also strongly promote staff retention by ensuring that the best possible company/contractor match is made for greater work satisfaction. In addition, investment is made in training and development, which improves output within the customer environment."
The Datacentrix Resourcing business unit service offering encompasses resource accessibility and skills matching, through an in-depth understanding of the customer environment and undertaking the necessary recruitment and selection processes to find the best possible match. It also handles all aspects of labour legislation management, providing for leave, UIF, medical aid, planning career paths with staff and providing for training.
Finally, through its service commitment, the continuous interaction and feedback with clients results in the highest level of customer satisfaction, while a dynamic contractor management process allows for business environment agility.
Says De Sousa: "One of the greatest benefits Datacentrix can offer to businesses looking at resourcing is that as an IT company, our customers have access to specific intellectual capital not necessarily available to your general recruitment companies. We understand both business and IT needs, and are able to ensure the sustainability of resources allocated to a client. All in all, Datacentrix Resourcing offers a compelling value proposition to organisations."
